Where have you gotten that idea? Just wondering because I looked up economic data on Cuba and the poverty level was unknown.
At any rate, I can't believe that anyone here is defending Castro. If he is such a great guy, why do thousands of Cubans flee each year? Castro has imprisoned, tortured, and murdered thousands of his own people over the years. Disagreement with the government is simply not tolerated. I find it despicable that people would be willing to defend a man that has oppressed his own people for 40 years. [/quote]OMG! Thank you! I finally have back up on here!
